Something woke Scott and he lay listening to the wind buffeting the
house and rattling the windows He got out of bed and pulled the
curtains aside peering into the unfamiliar darkness it was their first
night in the new house lightning flashed and in that instant he saw a
figure hurrying from the house towards the gate which led up onto
the moors
Deep in the forest the magical lake glittered in the early morning
sun Tall trees stood like silent guards around the water’s edge thick
branches keeping out all but the most determined of visitors In the
middle of the lake a purple mist swirled around The figure watching
from the bank knew just what the mist concealed
Avalon the woman whispered Her dress was long and black decorated
with dark jewels that seemed to greedily draw in the light from
around her Although the early autumn air was cold the woman wore
no cloak and not a single shiver crossed her pale skin

The boy ran down the rain-soaked street weaving between
abandoned cars He crouched behind one of the vehicles and tried to
quiet his laboured breath at first he heard nothing but then behind
the noise of the falling rain he made out another sound one that in
recent months he had learned to fear The high-pitched whine was
getting louder Did that mean the Drones had tracked his scent The
boy forced himself to his feet pushing the long black hair out of his
eyes and set off down the road again He didnt look back if there was
anything behind him he would rather not know
He ducked through the broken door of one of the shops lining the
street and ran between shelves stocked with now useless electronic
devices Vaulting over a counter at the far end of the shop he
grabbed the handle of a door marked Staff Only silently praying
that it wasnt locked the handle turned and he stepped into
the gloom of the room beyond As the door closed again he was
plunged into darkness
